There's something depressingly callous about those types. Nobody celebrates or appreciates the cost, effort and labor involved in making anything. It shows in their own generated derivatives. It takes one click for me to do what Rutkowski spent decades creating, so he can just...make like an artist and go die now or something. We don't need him anymore. Enjoy endless uninspired pieces of corporate motel art fashioned in his style. It's demoralizing. At this point, every one of us exists to be exploited. Create anything original and instead of being appreciated, it will be taken from you as you're spit on and told to eat shit.

What’s even more depressing is how you’re reducing the artist only to the stuff they make and not the impact or the journey the artist had to get to this point. Art is more than just visual junk food for our brains to feed on, art is there to push the boundaries of what art is. Which Rutkowski surely did and perhaps now his current style will be washed away but I can promise you, art is not going to just stop because the artist knows a computer can copy them. It’s up to people like Rutkowski to move the needle forward again even with new tools like generative art. I can confirm that least in my circle, creativity has never been this high. We are going to see some art that you can’t even fathom come out in the next few years and it’s all going to be due to this generative AI push we’ve seen the last few months. Art will change, artists aren’t going anywhere. It’s like saying we shouldn’t use these fancy new washing machines because the people who hand washed them for years would be left with nothing to do.

  So what is Rutkowski's journey, his story, his sufferings, his trials, his tribulations? If that is how it came to be that I see a work of art in his style, what is it? The art (style) I can see for myself, but that journey can't be faked.
